00:00 (upbeat music)
00:02 (audience cheering)
00:15 (speaking in foreign language)
00:23 - And welcome to Fast Talk with Boy Abunda.
00:28 (audience cheering)
00:31 (speaking in foreign language)
00:37 (speaking in foreign language)
00:40 (audience cheering)
01:03 (upbeat music)
01:06 (speaking in foreign language)
01:09 - I'm nervous.
01:10 (laughing)
01:12 (speaking in foreign language)
01:15 - Why is it so?
01:21 Why is it so, Ricky?
01:23 For somebody as brilliant as you are,
01:25 for somebody as celebrated as you are as an actor,
01:30 (speaking in foreign language)
01:33 I don't know, I'm not used to talking about myself.
01:36 (speaking in foreign language)
01:38 I'd rather memorize a 500-page script and deliver it
01:41 than talking extemporaneously about myself
01:46 and about (speaking in foreign language)
01:51 (laughing)
01:52 - But I'd like to share with you a story.
01:54 (speaking in foreign language)
01:59 (speaking in foreign language)
02:03 What am I here?
02:07 Because I'm supposed to be part of a storyteller,
02:10 storytelling.
02:11 (speaking in foreign language)
02:15 What is our role?
02:17 Until I saw that interview of Betty Davis,
02:19 (speaking in foreign language)
02:20 One of the most celebrated interviewers in Hollywood.
02:24 (speaking in foreign language)
02:28 You know why we need you?
02:29 You know why you're necessary?
02:30 (speaking in foreign language)
02:32 Is because I can tell myself.
02:35 (speaking in foreign language)
02:39 Half of who I am, you should know through the interviews.
02:44 (speaking in foreign language)
02:46 When people see you, you're an actor,
02:48 but (speaking in foreign language)
02:50 you're also a person.
02:51 (speaking in foreign language)
02:57 It's the real thing.
02:59 - No, it's also real.
03:00 (speaking in foreign language)
03:04 - These are real things.
03:10 (speaking in foreign language)
03:12 When the camera is rolling and when they hear action.
03:15 (speaking in foreign language)
03:19 That's why we need you.
03:20 - Correct.
03:21 And that's why we also need you,
03:22 because we need to complete (speaking in foreign language)
03:27 Please sit down.
03:28 (laughing)
03:29 And let's talk about love before sunrise.
03:32 - Yes.
03:32 (speaking in foreign language)
03:36 - Actually, (speaking in foreign language)
03:44 My own interpretation is that,
03:46 you know, when you sleep and you're in love
03:48 and you're positive, (speaking in foreign language)
03:51 love go before sunrise.
03:52 When I wake up in the morning,
03:54 (speaking in foreign language)
03:55 after the pandemic,
03:57 (speaking in foreign language)
03:58 I think positive, I pray, I want to give love,
04:03 I want to share whatever I have.
04:06 (speaking in foreign language)
04:08 Physically, emotionally, (speaking in foreign language)
04:11 For me, the love that I want to.
04:14 (speaking in foreign language)
04:17 Is that a beginning?
04:19 - It's the start of the day.
04:21 - It's the start of the day.
04:21 - Of the day.
04:22 - But if it's the start of the day,
04:24 (speaking in foreign language)
04:25 it's something that you and I don't know
04:27 what's gonna happen.
04:28 What you know is who you are before the sunrise.
04:33 (speaking in foreign language)
04:35 - Yes, yes.
04:36 - How is it working with the two?
04:38 (speaking in foreign language)
04:40 From the lens of an actor and from the lens of a director,
04:45 (speaking in foreign language)
04:48 - Well, I've worked with them several times.
04:50 - Okay.
04:51 - And they're always--
04:52 - As an actor.
04:53 (speaking in foreign language)
04:54 - As an actor.
04:55 (speaking in foreign language)
04:56 They're very giving, they're very professional.
04:58 They would ask, since (speaking in foreign language)
05:00 I'm older than them, and I'm also a director.
05:04 So they would sometimes, (speaking in foreign language)
05:06 which is good.
05:07 (speaking in foreign language)
05:08 If you don't understand something, (speaking in foreign language)
05:11 And that's what they're doing.
05:13 And they have their own style,
05:14 and they're very professional.
05:16 (speaking in foreign language)
05:17 They're on the set, they know what they want,
05:19 and then they give their own.
05:21 (speaking in foreign language)
05:23 - Now, can you be more specific with their style?
05:25 (speaking in foreign language)
05:26 I read an article about you.
05:28 (speaking in foreign language)
05:29 You go to the script.
05:30 - Yes.
05:31 (speaking in foreign language)
05:31 You know, Tom Hanks is like that.
05:32 I go to the script.
05:33 I don't go to a backstory.
05:34 - Yes.
05:35 - I don't go to my past pains.
05:37 (speaking in foreign language)
05:40 I go to my script, and that's my life.
05:43 What is the style of Dennis Atzacanibea?
05:46 (speaking in foreign language)
05:51 (speaking in foreign language)
05:54 But every time they do something, they deliver.
05:59 (speaking in foreign language)
06:01 Wow.
06:01 (speaking in foreign language)
06:04 I saw his last two or three teleseries.
06:07 (speaking in foreign language)
06:13 He's a Muslim guy with wives.
06:18 (speaking in foreign language)
06:19 And he's like, (speaking in foreign language)
06:21 I'm cute.
06:22 (speaking in foreign language)
06:23 Ordinary guy.
06:24 (speaking in foreign language)
06:28 How much of being a good actor can be learned,
06:34 and how much of that is inborn?
06:36 (speaking in foreign language)
06:41 It's very personal.
06:46 It's private and personal.
06:48 You don't get angry in front of so many people.
06:51 You don't cry.
06:52 When you feel like crying, you go inside and cry.
06:56 Or when you're angry,
06:57 (speaking in foreign language)
06:58 you get angry in front of your family, but not out.
07:00 You're getting angry in front of so many people
07:02 sometimes you don't know,
07:03 in front of the director and your co-actor.
07:06 That's a very private thing.
07:08 (speaking in foreign language)
07:11 So truth is very important in acting.
07:13 (speaking in foreign language)
07:17 You memorize, and then, excuse the term,
07:21 (speaking in foreign language)
07:25 And sometimes it triggers something,
07:27 bad memories, good memories.
07:28 (speaking in foreign language)
07:32 (speaking in foreign language)
07:40 But there are bad days.
07:47 There are bad days of actors.
07:48 There are days na hindi ko talaga ma ilabas yung gusto ko,
07:51 di ba?
07:52 And then you're doing a scene together.
07:53 (speaking in foreign language)
07:55 If I know the guy, if I'm quite close to him,
07:57 if we're co-actors,
07:59 (speaking in foreign language)
08:02 I'm older, baka I can say things
08:04 (speaking in foreign language)
08:05 in a very diplomatic way.
08:06 (speaking in foreign language)
08:07 Are you comfortable with this?
08:08 So it's a conversation.
08:09 (speaking in foreign language)
08:16 Right.
08:17 I'll give you this.
08:18 Can you give me this?
08:19 Okay.
08:20 Give me that.
08:21 Okay, when you give me that, I'll give you this.
08:22 Okay.
08:23 (speaking in foreign language)
08:27 Can we just do that?
08:30 I'll do it in front of the camera.
08:31 (speaking in foreign language)
08:33 How do you do it?
08:34 (speaking in foreign language)
08:34 Oh my God.
08:35 (speaking in foreign language)
08:36 I will just do my job.
08:38 (speaking in foreign language)
08:39 Of course, that's already the director's--
08:43 (speaking in foreign language)
08:46 There are some actors.
08:47 (speaking in foreign language)
08:50 Well, thank God, luckily,
08:53 (speaking in foreign language)
08:57 I've done scenes.
09:02 (speaking in foreign language)
09:06 (speaking in foreign language)
09:10 So, okay.
09:14 Say your lines.
09:15 (speaking in foreign language)
09:15 Okay, cut.
09:16 (speaking in foreign language)
09:17 Read your lines.
09:18 (speaking in foreign language)
09:19 Okay.
09:20 (speaking in foreign language)
09:22 Yes, there's editing, there's music.
09:24 But do you like your set as a director?
09:27 (speaking in foreign language)
09:28 Relaxed or--
09:29 Of course.
09:30 You don't like your actors being afraid of you?
09:32 No, no, no, no.
09:33 (speaking in foreign language)
09:37 (laughing)
09:39 (speaking in foreign language)
09:43 Yes.
09:43 Okay.
09:44 Everybody knows your story.
09:46 (speaking in foreign language)
09:48 And you've worked together--
09:49 Yeah, several times.
09:50 Several times.
09:51 Right, and then we're doing fast talk now.
09:53 Okay?
09:53 And we have two minutes to do this.
09:55 Okay.

10:02 Yes, drama, action.

10:06 Sunrise.
10:08 Regret, forget.
10:09 Forget.
10:10 Move in, move on.
10:12 Move on.
10:13 (speaking in foreign language)
10:15 I love both, I love both.

10:47 Yes.
10:48 (speaking in foreign language)
10:52 Yes.
10:53 (laughing)
10:53 (speaking in foreign language)
10:54 You believe in second chances.
10:55 Yes.
10:56 (speaking in foreign language)
10:57 You are in love now.
10:58 Yes.
10:59 Your biggest fear?
11:00 (sighing)
11:03 Losing loved ones.
11:05 Your biggest achievement?
11:06 My family, my kids.

11:11 (sighing)
11:13 Private.
11:13 Exclusive, inclusive?
11:15 Inclusive.
11:16 Best father or best lover?

11:23 One to 10, rate yourself as a father.
11:25 (speaking in foreign language)
11:28 One to 10, rate yourself as a lover.
11:31 (speaking in foreign language)
11:31 Lights on or lights off?
11:33 On.
11:34 (laughing)
11:35 Happiness or chocolate?
11:37 Whichever comes first.
11:38 Best time for happiness?
11:40 (sighing)
11:41 Anytime, every time.

11:43 "I am Ricky Davao and I'm proud to say that."

11:59 and I'm ready.

12:05 (speaking in foreign language)
12:09 (speaking in foreign language)
12:13 What is the most difficult thing about saying goodbye
12:18 in a failed relationship?

12:24 (upbeat music)
12:36 (speaking in foreign language)
12:40 Shout out.
12:41 (speaking in foreign language)
12:45 Shout out.
12:58 (speaking in foreign language)

13:06 I know you're doing a play called Silver Lining.
13:23 Yes, yes.
13:24 And you're so excited about it.
13:25 Yes.
13:26 (speaking in foreign language)
13:27 What is Silver Lining?
13:29 Silver Lining is about three friends,
13:31 boomers, and then they were supposed to do
13:33 parang homecoming thing and then the postpones.
13:38 (speaking in foreign language)
13:39 They decided to do a musical and then some musical.
13:42 So they got young actors to play themselves
13:45 and through this,
13:47 (speaking in foreign language)
13:50 and they would discover new things.

14:30 Hi, I'm just so happy that you're able to do theater.
14:32 As a matter of fact, Ricky,
14:33 (speaking in foreign language)
14:35 but I will never forget your portrayal of,
14:38 what was your role in Larawan?
14:40 As Tony Javier.
14:41 As Tony Javier.
14:42 Oh my God.
14:44 Which was originally played actually by Jose Mari.
14:47 Jose Mari Aveliana.
14:48 No, (speaking in foreign language)
14:51 in 1956.
14:52 (speaking in foreign language)
14:54 After, (speaking in foreign language)
14:58 That was Lino Braca's version.
14:59 Yes.
15:00 (speaking in foreign language)
15:04 Directed by national artist, Lamberto Aveliana.
15:12 (speaking in foreign language)
15:16 And as portrait of an artist as Filipino, that's right.
15:19 And congratulations.
15:20 (speaking in foreign language)
15:22 Thank you.
15:23 (laughing)
15:24 (speaking in foreign language)
15:26 What is the most difficult part about,
15:28 in, you know, (speaking in foreign language)
15:31 during breakups, saying goodbye?
15:34 (speaking in foreign language)
15:38, you know, (speaking in foreign language)
15:43 But it's very hard.
16:06 It's very painful.
16:07 (speaking in foreign language)
16:09 No goodbyes easy.
16:11 No goodbyes.
16:11 The last time Jackie Lu was here,
16:13 (speaking in foreign language)
16:17 and she talked about the children.
16:22 Yes.
16:23 Your comment.
16:24 Well, (speaking in foreign language)
16:27 it happened 23 years ago.
16:29 (speaking in foreign language)
16:29 And you just have to move on.
16:32 Of course, (speaking in foreign language)
16:35 (speaking in foreign language)
16:39 This is a free country.
16:45 You can say whatever you want.
16:47 (speaking in foreign language)
16:48 Okay.
16:49 Okay.
16:50 (laughing)
16:50 (speaking in foreign language)
16:52 That's right.
16:53 That's right.
16:54 (speaking in foreign language)
16:55 You have to accept, move on.
16:58 Continue living.
17:01 Okay.
17:02 Be positive.
17:03 There was one experience that she shared with us.
17:04 Ricky May coming out to her as a lesbian.
17:08 (speaking in foreign language)
17:12 I remember something happened in her school.
17:19 (speaking in foreign language)
17:21 I don't know if I, oh, that's her.
17:23 (laughing)
17:25 (speaking in foreign language)
17:30 (laughing)
17:31 (speaking in foreign language)
17:35 And then she cried.
17:38 And then the following day,
17:41 I got a long letter saying, "Sorry," (speaking in foreign language)
17:45 and then she admitted that she's different,
17:48 that she's part of the LGBT.
17:58 (speaking in foreign language)
18:00 So I love her and I respect.
18:02 So whatever makes her happy.
18:04 (speaking in foreign language)
18:09 You don't have to apologize, Ricky.
18:12 Yeah.
18:13 (speaking in foreign language)
18:15 I'm very strict.
18:17 (speaking in foreign language)
18:21 Millennials.
18:22 (laughing)
18:24 (speaking in foreign language)
18:28 That was like me,
18:33 I have a little of tinnitus.
18:38 Okay.
18:39 So my voice is a bit loud
18:43 and when I explain something,
18:45 (speaking in foreign language)
18:47 So I'm using my theater voice.
18:50 (speaking in foreign language)
18:51 I'm just explaining.
18:53 I'm a very emotional person when I explain something.
18:57 I'm not angry, but (speaking in foreign language)
19:02 You're very passionate.
19:03 Yeah, I'm very passionate.
19:04 (speaking in foreign language)
19:05 How I express myself, listen to what I'm saying.
19:09 Correct.
19:10 How did the children react?
19:12 Because you're not very private.
19:13 I know you're very private to a certain extent.
19:15 For somebody as public as you are,
19:17 how did they react
19:19 when you became a little more open about your love life?
19:22 I respect your girlfriend, I don't wanna name her.
19:26 You know?
19:27 They're very happy for me.
19:29 (speaking in foreign language)
19:33 They respect that and they're happy for me.
19:38 And (speaking in foreign language)
19:40 because every time we go out and we meet good friends,
19:45 (speaking in foreign language)
19:48 Look at that smile.
19:49 Yeah.
19:50 Oh, look at that smile.
19:51 You're happy, you're in love.
19:53 (speaking in foreign language)
19:55 I was reading that story.
19:57 Okay, (speaking in foreign language)
19:57 you were saying, "Make your nana and make your tata proud."
20:00 You have something to say about it.
20:02 (laughing)
20:03 I love that input.
20:04 (speaking in foreign language)
20:09 (speaking in foreign language)
20:13 Then after the pandemic,
20:23 (speaking in foreign language)
20:26 I've been reading so many things.
20:28 We should just move, stand.
20:31 You know, when you're sitting in 20 minutes, stand.
20:35 And then walk, and then stretch,
20:37 and then pick up (speaking in foreign language)
20:39 then (speaking in foreign language)
20:41 You have to love yourself,
20:42 meaning you take care of yourself.
20:44 So that you can love others.
20:45 You can love others.
20:46 You can share your love, (speaking in foreign language)
20:47 so be healthy.
20:49 Small things.
20:50 (speaking in foreign language)
20:54 Thank you for saying that.
20:59 Okay, I'm about to close the show.
21:01 (speaking in foreign language)
21:05 (laughing)
21:07 (speaking in foreign language)
21:11 That's my subtext.
21:16 (speaking in foreign language)
21:20 (speaking in foreign language)
